Obama's FBI Now Refers Some Potential Terror Suspects To Counseling

The FBI is now referring some potential terror suspects for psychological counseling as part of a new touchy-feely strategy to defeat homegrown Islamic State supporters.

Rather than lock up everyone in the U.S. suspected of potential terrorist activity, the FBI will direct up to 10% of the thousands of people under investigation to the shrink’s couch, where they can rehash the indignities of their childhoods that led them to seek retribution by opening fire on crowds of innocents or blowing up jetliners.

Proponents of the plan told the Wall Street Journal it will ease the FBI’s investigative burden and provide a possible “off ramp” from radicalization for some of the thousands of people in the U.S. interested in joining ISIS, especially minors.

“Nobody wants to see a 15-year-old kid go to jail if they don’t have to,” an official working on the new plan told the Journal, adding that the FBI will continue monitoring potential suspects that have been referred for counseling, standing ready to arrest them in the event that emotional hugs don’t work.

Some inside federal law enforcement are pushing back against the plan, because of the potentially deadly consequences of misjudging potential suspects.

“I get the principle,” former FBI counterterrorism agent Peter Ahearn told TheWSJ. “But there are a lot of potential problems with this, and I think it’s a wrong move.”

Amazing, this is such a waste of time and so stupid.

This boring, silly, insane counseling might just break them. I would consider it a form of torture.
